Seed dispersal part three. Cyclamen hederifolium does things in a different order to many plants of this hemisphere. It flowers in early autumn, then goes into leaf over winter and loses the leaves in early summer. The exposed coums produce a plethora of seed pods which look rather like tiny coiled springs.   

 The seeds are too heavy to scatter very far but they have a sweet sugary coating which attracts ants who carry them away. Seed dispersal by symbiosis.
